Attention is given to the role of rural roads in countering remoteness and promoting more equitable development. The paper focuses on three economic impacts of roads - agricultural production, employment, and household income. The impact of roads
varies within an area and between areas. Impacts are considerably greater when roads provide communities with access to a major urban centre compared with a small town.

Carbonate and evaporite karsts cover a large proportion of western Ukraine. Different human activities produce multivarious and strong impacts on karst which entail various consequences in different environments. These are considered with special
Impact cratering phenomenon for the Ries multiring structure based on constraints of geological, geophysical, and petrological studies and the nature of the impacting body in Impact and explosion cratering. Planetary and terrestrial implications.

Wind-tunnel simulations of the response of 2 moss crusts to grain impact indicate that, given sufficient time, these surfaces will deteriorate under very low wind velocities. This study attempts to isolate the 2 effects, the impact force
and the number density of impacts, in order to evaluate the relative importance of each. In parallel with these experiments, the frequency distributions of ultimate strength and penetration energy were determined for each of the 2 crust types via penetrometry.
